Photo Funny
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these posts, and I realized it’s because I mostly just throw these types of photos up on Facebook. Really though, that’s a shame– here I am wasting so much cool technology on ridiculous and absurd things I observe while I am out and about, and I’m not sharing them with you anymore? Pshaw!
Today’s subject is weird food. For example, here is a bucket of “party mix” that, frankly, looks like something that someone swept off the floor FOLLOWING a party:
As you can tell, I am often amused in the grocery store. I barely got the rest of the way down the aisle before I saw this fantastic product:
Let me get this straight– one day (a few years ago), an executive at Frito Lay pitched “Spinach Dip” as a product.. OK, this sounds fine…..the new “spinach dip” product made it all the way through development, testing, focus group, and trial marketing, and no one ever mentioned that they should maybe use a DARK CONTAINER for this, because it looks so disgusting?
OK then. I don’t work at Frito Lay, so I guess I am not in expert in products that should never, never have a clear container. But, it seems like if I were an expert, this would be one of them.
Here’s another product that I’m not sure should have made it all the way through development. Actually, it might just be the advertising that’s the problem here– if you’ll notice, the “breakfast bowl” product is eggs, bacon, sausage, and some other disgusting thing all inside a bowl that you can microwave, thus insuring that you consume the maximum amount of sodium and chemicals. The problem here is that, until you look at it closely, this really looks like a bowl of cereal, and it is only your REALIZATION that it is actually a hot bowl of eggs and meat that makes it so yucky.
And really, if you don’t have the time to cook a “weekend breakfast,” maybe you should wait for the weekend. What you’re gaining here in terms of time, you might be sacrificing in sodium intake.
This photo falls under the auspices of “Um….I would hope so.”
Also, does this mean that they are only guaranteeing that the SEAFOOD is fresh, and not the rest of the food? Again, maybe someone in advertising should have though through all the possible connotations and various meanings of this.
